I have a bit of a love-hate relationship with television. There are shows I like, and watch if I'm home when they're on, or if I think of it, but I'm always a bit annoyed when I find a show I really like, because then I have to go out of my way to watch it. Maybe even find a tape to record it (gah!). (No, we don't have Tivo, and we won't be getting it.)
This comes to mind because the husband has been making a point of watching Torchwood, and I've been half-watching it due to being in the same room doing something else. Sort of avoiding paying too much attention because, damn it, I don't want to have to schedule around a television show. It's irritating. But I might have to. Not sure yet. For some reason I quite liked tonight's episode, although I can't imagine why because I can think of several things that sucked about it. But favorite shows are like relationships, you can say "I like this" or "this is fun about it" but what makes them better than similar shows--what makes them favorites--is indefinable.
But comic books? Yeah, we have to wait until they come out. But once they're out? We can read them whenever and wherever we like. They don't intrude. They don't insist on being read at a particular time on a particular day. Whenever's convenient for you is fine with them.
I like that.
